Performing the Impossible

I firmly believe that anything is possible and "if you can dream it, you can do it."  In a conversation I was having with a friend today, she asked what I wanted to do with my life. At first, I hesitated and I couldn't really think about what I wanted to do and I just floundered. After about 4 or 5 minutes I simply went with what I was thinking. I just kept going and going. I decided that I was going to make something of myself and at the same time do something that would help people. I was really able to formulate what I wanted to say and what I wanted to do. I felt a sense of accomplishment after I had finished. My friend even said to me that based on how proud and happy I was she could see me doing it. I was so excited and happy that she was so supportive and she saw my vision. It really meant a lot to me. I created a short list of some of the things I wanted to accomplish and I feel that I will. I plan on one day writing them down and possibly sharing them all here once I can finally figure out putting them together. To me, it is a bit of a bucket list, but I want to have parts to the bucket list. I have also found that sometimes things that would be on a bucket list, we don't think of having on a bucket list until after we do them. When I went skydiving, it wasn't until after that we actually talked about the fact that so many people have it as something that they want to do.

I think it is important to have an idea of what you want to do in your life but be aware that things can change. I have changed what I want to do and where I want to go about 199 times since going away to school and I feel as though it may change again. I have learned that it is important to go with the flow yet still be aware of your place in the world.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
